Fresh off the 2023 International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) in Bend, Oregon and excited for 2024 in Tromso, Norway, the ISSW returns to Whistler, BC, Canada in 2026.
The 5 Day event will take place at the Whistler Conference Center including a field day for professionals and a public workshop. Evenings will be full of a variety of social events, featuring a Public Awareness Fundraiser on the Wednesday and of course the final banquet.
With the conference being held in late September, attendees will also be able to take advantage of both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, which will be open for sightseeing, hiking and mountain biking in Whistler’s world-renowned mountain bike park.
